Former President Donald Trump and House Majority Whip Tom Emmer spoke on Saturday as opponents of the Minnesota Republican's speaker bid push a narrative that the former president is against him getting the gavel.
But one Emmer ally pointed out that those saying the whip is “anti-Trump” have yet to produce facts or specific instances where he was anti-Trump. “President Trump has been a tremendous partner in our efforts to fire Nancy Pelosi, and we are very pleased to see him making investments in the midterms,” Emmer told Breitbart in September 2022. “The American people are fed up with Joe Biden and Democrats’ record of rising prices, lawless cities, and a southern border that has been completely overrun by drug cartels.”
One member close to Trump, Rep. Matt Gaetz , spoke positively of Emmer on his podcast Firebrand on Monday. Gaetz, who led the charge to oust Rep. Kevin McCarthy from the speakership, said that Emmer is viewed positively by “our more moderate members to our more conservative members” and is viewed as a “truth teller.”
